as far as mr. yee coming out a second time and writing us a notice, that was because he was called the second time and he came out. i met him out there that time and i went to his office, made an appointment, said i'll be out there tomorrow morning with you. we went out there and he noit usd -- noticed at all the spots they were supposed to be noticed, they were noticed correctly. it was a couple days after that that the board got the letter and we had some stop work again. the pictures that are shown, that was just trash bags that were in there. there was no demolition of any of the walls that were in those bags that were taken. i don't even know how those pictures got taken because that was in a garage that nobody has access to except for us. it's not a common garage, it's a single car garage that's for us only and whoever rents the unit no. 9. the paint chips that were on the sidewalk, there was one paint chip as you saw in the picture, that mr. yee has also showed me the same picture. we went out t

so there are 5 nov's all together, three from mr. yee, two from mr. powers, two of the five are on 15 nobles, two of them are on sefrp and 9 nobles alley i want to show you what the realistic product is, the practical effect of this failure by the permit holder to abide by the law and to abide by the notices of violation. the practical effect is this: the practical effect, this is signed by dennis yee, he took the photos, many photos he took of specks of lead strewn based paint on the sidewalk. whether we think that is a serious matter or not, the point for the city is that it's easily remedied. there's no reason it has to be thrown on the sidewalk. there's no reason it has to be thrown into the air because it's very inexpensive for the builder, for the permit holder, to do it correctly. here again we have a window open which mr. -- again, these are all photos from, interestingly, not the 15th of january when they were given their first warning, but you can see, if you can see the whole picture here, he says right here, february 26, signed by dennis y

mr. alfred yee right outside of a senior center and i'm going to ask about the other police stations and are there goals so that they can also meet the citation's goals like the richmond station has been doing? >> absolutely. right. it's the goal of the san francisco police department to focus on those five categories and like i mentioned before, all of those five are identified through the statewide system don't necessarily apply to every different police district in the city so i'm working right now to identify the best most appropriate collision factors to focus on and in a couple of districts it may be pedestrian focussed and that's what the data is showing now and probably at the next quarterly meeting i'll have the exact data of each specific district and station and again, we're all focusing on those five -- are we obtaining the goal today? not necessarily so there's a mere i there's an miriad of reasons we may not reach the goal and you know that and whether it's our presence being the crime prevention factor things like that. >> i want to acknowledge captain silver man's efforts

attention to this really important issue and i want to send our our condolences to the family of mr. yee and yee it's just heartbreaking and i also want to thank you all for your work in making sure that our city does not continue to see these traffic fatalities your leadership in terms of proposing policies and looking at speed supervisor mar as one of the top killers of people and traffic and supervisor kim making sure that tenderloin lighting takes place and supervisor yee your work to help to make sure that tour bus drivers are not diss tracted is all really important and i think the work that the mta has been doing is critical and we're excited to see this come to light through the walk first projects that will be funded and discussed today and i also want to remind you that we have a 13-mile goal that the city set at minimum for this coming year and with that goal, we would achieve one ninth we would fix or touch one ninth of all of the streets along the high injury corridors over the next nine years and if we're only touching those streets once we're as advocates interested in und

embarcadero and monterey so i have encountered the people in a kind of what you see >> thank you, mr. yee when you make public comment it has to think relevant you can't come up here and speak just to speak it has to be relevant i have in my hands a list of cards (calling names) and ace on the case in that order guy you're up next it dennis and then michael not sure how to follow that. >> i hope. >> first of all, good morning, supervisors my name is guy kerosine i'm one of the founder california culture organization thank you to supervisor breed for this legislation it is long overdue and happy to have it i'm sure you're aware of i think speaking to the choir but live music venues are an ensdoorgd species and currently an endangered species to protect them another ottawa all costs that is one tool is it gives our live music venues some leverage when it comes to negotiate with developers who might otherwise be completely i think different to the operation nodes of the music i speak from personal experience we had developers could into my block wanting to build 87 units and it was a nationa

duffy, what he read about the lead abatement from mr. yee, he read one notice but didn't read the second notice. he may find it before we close up here tonight, but there is a second notice and dennis yee was out there and photographed all the notices and their proper presence wherever they were supposed to be, adjacent buildings, i mean i was there myself, i might even be in a picture. actually he had me point to one, actually. so i'm sure we're going to find the other nov that will cancel out the one that he read to you tonight. >> thank you. anything further? >> we would just like you to uphold these permits. i will be seeing you next week on the rehearing and it's again with mr. bruno, but i do think at some point in time my client simply wants to effectuate the renovation of the building. thanks. >> mr. duffy. >> commissioners, just to the gentleman who just spoke, if it's an important enough document that he thinks it's important, he should have brought it with him to this hearing. you know, if he's got a notice that's got something go

next meetings how to focus on safety foreseen i for, seniors so i don't want it to get lost that mr. yee has been killed in the richmond district and i would like to hear that by the end of the meeting and some presentation in the future budget on what we do specifically for safety for, seniors because wier and papandreou are already doing a lot but i suggested from walk sf and senior organizations is about funding safe streets for, seniors in a vision zero budget and i'd strongly support that as it comes from seniors and grass roots rs forces and lastly i'm totally in agreement that they are why we have vision zero and i think they need a stronger voice in this process as much as we can. >> thank you commissioner mar so with that i'm going to open up for public comment at this time on the curriculum for large vehicle driver training program. please do come up if you would like to speak on this item. >> thank you. roger basley again. i think it's a very good direction to go. i like the idea of the training videos . i lost a really great friend of the navy league on alameda island and it'

mr. putell. on the 8 of december 2014 supervisor yee kicked off the 2015 budget process and held a public meeting. i attended that meeting as a interested person. mr. putell also ateneded and i met him face to face at the meeting. he said he was sorry he wasn't able to chat has he promised, offered an apology for not calling me back and said he would assign a project manager by the end of jan 2015. the follow day i did receive a e-mail from mr. putell, it included draft criteria for the snaugz of the speed bump and said these are not final criteria. i waited for the assignment of the project manager. on the thirt of jan 2015 i received a e-mail from charles green and said the sfmta is planning to install bumps elts where on 14th avenue and should expect action and final decision in may 2015. i must take exception this is a approved project and sfmta is moving forward. it appears it will be a full year before i hear information about when they plan to? stall a speed hump at the indicated nrbt section. a few observations, the sfmta doesn't operate with normal courtesy. there were pneums promises to

mr. nagle. are there any questions colleagues? supervisor yee >> the table that looks at the overlap between the 2 funding sources, you said 35-48 percent dependent on which you would have both >> correct >> i don't know if you were able to do a deeper analysis of those particular ones that had both, what percentage were-would they fit into had cal t categories? >> i think what this is showing or what is not maybe clear is the cultural equity grants a lot of times there are specific categories of funds and men a are received for racial minority groups. the point of this is that the cultural equity grantees are racial minorities or other underrepresented groups and so they are also receiving grants for the arts funds >> so the majority would be sort of mixed ethnic group >> the cultural equity grants, those criteria are part of their mission for many different sources of funds >> i look at the numbers in terms of total amount was 13 million or something 2 years back >> it was 11-last year was 11.8 and this year 11.4 >> in 2008 it was about 15 mil

in lgbt arts groups is a concern of mine as well >> supervisor yee any other comments >> wonder if there are questions for [inaudible] or mrs. nagle i see none. cary shulman coulden be here, but from grants from the art is con wong >> as mr. wong is being set up i know our city attorney probably has advice for us about hotel tax fund resources and how the city allocates those resources and i'm wondering if mr. [inaudible] could give a comment about that >> sure. [inaudible] the office advised the board a cual years ago about various law suits involving the hotel tax. the specific answer for arts funding is the hotel tax isn't specifically allocated for arts funding. that funding comes from the general fund and as howard mentioned the amount of the fundsing is a discretionary decision for the board and mayor. it is based on a large number of factors including the amount of revenue coming into the general fund >> thank you mr. wong >> thank you for having me. good afternoon supervisors and chairman. my name is con wong and senior program manager for grants the arts. i would like to acknowledge a few of my colleagues here.

yee's approach as well. you mentioned the cascading of bonds over the years and mr. strong did as well, just want to ask what is the san francisco unified school district and community college district may have impacts on this as well? >> we don't have authority or control over the issuance of bonds by the school district or the city college district. they are part of our capital plan as an external agency and in fact they model the capital plan and moving forward with the general obligation bond since 2016. they have not given us a number as to what that will be. the city college, they are really sort of evaluating and we heard from the new facilities director capital plan they are evaluating what they need and don't need. they have expressed no intention at this time of doing any type of a bond. >> but possibly as schools bond sometime in 2016. >> in november of 2016 is what we heard. >> thank you. >> okay, from my part, mr. strong, i want to thank you for all of your hard work and concur with the statements that the city had historically not done the type of plann
